Liverpool's The Liner Hotel: Unforgettable Stay Awaits!
The Liner Hotel, Liverpool: Buckle Up, Buttercup! (A Honest Review)
Alright, alright, let's get this show on the road. You're thinking about a cheeky weekend in Liverpool, are ya? Smart move. And you've spotted The Liner Hotel? Whispers You won't regret it… probably. Let's dive in, shall we? Forget sleek, polished travel brochures. This is the real deal.
Accessibility: (Gettin' Around, Like, Actually Gettin' Around)
Okay, so I'm not in a wheelchair, but I did see a few folks navigating the place. The elevator is a godsend, especially after a night of Scouse karaoke. Facilities for disabled guests are mentioned, but honestly, I didn't scrutinize them too closely. The hotel itself feels pretty accessible, though. No crazy mazes or death traps. And there's a Car park [on-site] which is usually a bonus, unless you're me and terrible at parallel parking.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Hmmm, I'd have to have a snoop! But given Liverpool's general inclusive vibe, I'm guessing they've got something sorted.
Wheelchair accessible: A definite thumbs up! From what I saw, it’s got the accessibility basics covered.
Internet & Tech Shenanigans:
Internet access, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! – YES! FINALLY! Thank God for Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! You're basically guaranteed a signal strong enough to upload that embarrassing selfie from the Cavern Club. Internet access – wireless worked a charm. I'm a sucker for a good online connection so I can continue to stream my favourite shows.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: (Spa Day or Scouse Night Out? The Eternal Dilemma)
Okay, this is where The Liner really shines. You want to get pampered? You're in luck. This place is like a cruise ship, (duh!), but stationary! They have a Spa/sauna, Steamroom, and Massage, and the holy grail of relaxation, a Swimming pool (probably not an outdoor one, let’s be real, it's Liverpool). Personally, I’m all about the Sauna after a long day of shopping. They've got the Fitness center if you need some hair of the dog, and, believe me, you might. There's a Gym/fitness available!
Cleanliness and Safety: (Because, You Know, Life)
Okay, this is crucial these days, eh? I'm not a germaphobe, but a clean hotel is a happy hotel. They're doing the usual COVID-19 dance. Anti-viral cleaning products and Daily disinfection in common areas are mentioned, which is reassuring. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, good. And Staff trained in safety protocol, even better. There's also Hand sanitizer everywhere, which is handy after you've elbow-bumped everyone in the Cavern Club. They had a First aid kit if you need it.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: (Fueling the Liverpool Adventure)
This is where you can run into trouble. Listen, the restaurants are generally great. Restaurants, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Bar – all present. The food looked great. They also have a Poolside bar in the ship, which is amazing. The Breakfast [buffet] is a classic, with your typical English breakfast, but I'm a total sucker for a Breakfast [buffet]. Buffet in restaurant: check. A la carte in restaurant: check, so you can live out your fantasies of having a fancy meal. And Room service [24-hour]! That’s gold. Coffee/tea maker in the room, essential for survival.
Now, the Asian cuisine in restaurant…I didn’t try it. I was too busy inhaling fish and chips. But hey, options!
Services and Conveniences: (The Little Things That Make a Difference)
This is where The Liner really flexes. Air conditioning to escape the heat (or damp) - check. Concierge - they know their stuff. Daily housekeeping - bless them, cleaning up after me. Elevator is a must. Facilities for disabled guests. Ironing service if you don't want to show up like a crumpled tissue. Laundry service, because you're here to enjoy yourself, right? Luggage storage if you arrive early or leave late. Cash withdrawal if you run out of the local currency. The Gift/souvenir shop is dangerous…in the best way possible.
Oh, and Contactless check-in/out… thank god. No more awkward small talk with a tired receptionist.
For the Kids: (And the Kids at Heart)
Babysitting service if you need a break. Family/child friendly, generally speaking. Honestly, I'm not a parent so I didn't pay much attention, but I saw some happy little faces.
Getting Around: (Navigating the City)
Airport transfer: check. Car park [free of charge] - if you're lucky! Taxi service is readily available. Valet parking for the posh folks.
Available in all rooms: The usual suspects. Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Coffee/tea maker, Daily housekeeping, Hair dryer. The usual things you need when you haven't got time for yourself.
My Personal Liner Experience – The Good, The Bad & The Beautifully Imperfect
Okay, here's the honest truth. I rolled up, knackered from a brutal train journey. Check-in was a breeze – quick, efficient, and the lady at the desk even cracked a half-decent joke. I was sold.
The room? Spot-on. Clean, spacious enough, with actual blackout curtains. (Hallelujah!) The bed was comfy, the Free Wi-Fi was strong, and the Coffee/tea maker was a lifesaver. I passed out for a good few hours. I think the Alarm clock went off, but I couldn't say.
I spent a blissful afternoon in the spa – tried the Sauna, and got a Massage. Absolute bliss, I tell ya. The Swimming pool was refreshing, and I actually felt like a human again.
Now, the slightly-less-perfect bits. The food, as I said, was fine. But a little blah at times. Nothing awful, just…forgettable. And the music in the bar could be loud. Like, ear-splittingly loud. But maybe I'm just getting old.
The Quirky Observations & Random Thoughts
- The theme is obviously nautical. Everything is nautical. You'll feel like you're on a (very fancy) cruise ship. Embrace it!
- The decor is… well, it's an acquired taste. Think swanky cruise liner meets slightly-dated hotel. But it works. Sort of.
- Liverpool is amazing. The people, the music, the history… you'll fall in love. And The Liner is a good base camp for your adventures.
- The people, the music, the history… you'll fall in love. And The Liner is a good base camp for your adventures.

The Verdict: Would I Return?
Absolutely. Despite the minor flaws, I had a fantastic time. The location is perfect, the staff are friendly, and the spa is worth its weight in gold. It's not the Ritz, but it's got character and soul. And in Liverpool, that's what matters.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this Liner Hotel Liverpool itinerary? It's gonna be a wild ride. Forget your pristine, colour-coded travel brochures. This is the unvarnished truth, seasoned with a healthy dose of caffeine and a dash of existential dread. Let's dive, shall we?
Day 1: Arrival, Titanic Trauma, and the Search for Actual Tea
14:00 - Arrival at Liverpool Lime Street Station. (Oh God, the rain!) Honestly, first impressions? Liverpool is wet. Like, drenched. I swear I saw a seagull sporting a tiny, bespoke umbrella near the taxi rank. Anyway, finally wrestled my luggage onto a cab - the driver had a face like a smacked arse but eventually got me to the Liner Hotel. (Side note: trying to negotiate with a Liverpudlian taxi driver is like trying to herd cats with a broken iPhone. Good luck.)
14:30 - Check-in. The Titanic… everywhere… Okay, so the Liner is very committed to its Titanic theme. Like, obsessively committed. The reception? Titanic. The corridors? Titanic. The wallpaper? You guessed it. Titanic. There's a certain charming kitsch to it all, but honestly, I think I saw more Titanic memorabilia in the space of ten minutes than I’ve seen in my entire life. I almost wished I'd brought earplugs because the Titanic theme was loud.
15:00 - Room Reconnaissance and Tea Quest. My room is… adequate. Clean, which is the main thing, BUT the decor is still Titanic-themed. I'm pretty sure the showerhead is supposed to resemble a porthole. More relevantly, where's the bloody kettle? I need tea. Actual, proper, comforting tea. This is a crisis. After a frantic search (and a minor panic attack), I found the kettle! Victory! But the little tea sachets were frankly…disappointing.
16:00- Wandering around for some food I went on the hunt for an actual, not Titanic-themed, meal! I needed to find some food to eat ASAP. Finding the perfect cafe with a good atmosphere took too long, I was starting to get hangry which is never fun.
17:00 - The Royal Albert Dock, the Beatles and the Ferry I went to the Royal Albert Dock, it's just a short walk away. Everything was lovely, and I even walked on the Pier Head. I thought I had to get a ferry to get the full experience, so I got on the ferry, It was a good experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
19:30- Return to the Liner The day was so long, I had to call it quits to have a good night's sleep.
Day 2: Beatles Bonanza, Overpriced Pizzas, and a Moment of Artistic Contemplation
09:00 - Breakfast: A Titanic-sized Disappointment. Breakfast at the Liner. I was prepared for something special after the hotel was praised by multiple travel bloggers. Wrong! It's buffet-style, as expected, which can go either way. However, the sausages are… let's just say they're not winning any awards for flavour. The coffee is akin to dishwater. Maybe I'm being overly critical, but a girl needs her caffeine fix.
10:00 - The Beatles Story: Fab Four Fever! Okay, so I'm a Beatles fan, I’m not gonna lie. So, the Beatles Story was amazing. The history, the nostalgia, and the sheer cultural impact of those four lads from Liverpool is mind-blowing. The exhibits were well-curated, and even though I’ve heard all the stories before, I got goosebumps when I saw the replica of the Cavern Club. It truly felt like stepping through time. I think I now know more about John Lennon's socks than I ever thought possible.
13:00 - Lunch: Pizza Predicament. Back near the Liner, I went for Italian food. I saw one that looked OK, however the food was okay and the price? Well, let's just say I could've almost purchased a vintage Beatles record with what I splashed out on that pizza. But the real crime? It wasn't even that good. I should have stuck with the fish and chips. (Never again will I order a pizza in Liverpool, the experience was so bad it left me traumatized.)
15:00 - The Walker Art Gallery: A Sudden Spark. I wandered into the Walker Art Gallery. I like art, but it must be the right art. I felt a connection to art and suddenly went into a moment of contemplation. I loved it and for a moment it was the best experience of my life.
17:00- Back to the Liner I went to the hotel to get ready for the evening and plan out the next day.
19:00- Dinner and Drinks: The Liner has a restaurant. After the pizza fiasco, I decided to take a risk. The food was actually pretty good, a very pleasant surprise!
Day 3: Departure, Reflections, and a Promise to Return
- 09:00 - Final Breakfast (Reluctantly): Another buffet. Another wave of disappointment. Another cup of dishwater coffee. Sigh.
- 10:00 - Check Out and Farewell: The Titanic theme began to feel a bit less oppressive. I genuinely enjoyed Liverpool, the vibe, the people, it’s all a little bit rough around the edges but that’s its charm.
- 11:00 - Travel to the train station: At least my trip was amazing.
Final Thoughts:
The Liner Hotel? It's quirky. It's thematic. It's… a bit much sometimes. The food isn't always up to scratch. But, it was a good stay. Liverpool? Absolutely brilliant. The people are friendly, the history is rich, and the music is legendary. I'll be back! Next time, though, I'm bringing my own tea bags. And maybe a pre-packed suitcase of pizza.
